[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] The Jeonnam Community Chest of Korea (Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae) has launched the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign, a 62-day grand journey under the slogan "Sharing, a Social Vaccine for All," until January 31 next year.

On the 1st, at the Yeonsando Hall on the first floor of Jeonnam Provincial Office, the unveiling ceremony of the Love Temperature Tower was held, attended by key local leaders including Labor Il, Chairman of Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae, Kim Young-rok, Governor of Jeonnam Province, Kim Han-jong, Chairman of Jeonnam Provincial Council, Jang Seok-ung, Superintendent of Jeonnam Provincial Office of Education, as well as about 80 representatives from broadcasting companies and businesses.

The event complied with COVID-19 prevention guidelines and included the first donation ceremony, new member registration for the Honor Society and the handprint plaque presentation for fully paid members, fund distribution ceremony, and children’s Love Piggy Bank donation ceremony.

At the start of this campaign, new members joined the Honor Society consecutively, warming the Love Temperature Tower.

Heo Young-ho, CEO of Mirim Industrial Development Co., Ltd., registered his late parents Heo Ryeon and Guk Soon-rye as the 125th and 126th members respectively, and Kim Tae-hee, child of Kim Yoong-gi, director of Jangheung Kim Eye Clinic, joined as the 127th member, making them three family members registered.

Additionally, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power Co., Ltd. Hanbit Nuclear Power Headquarters (Head Cheon Yong-ho) generously donated 100 million won, supporting the launch of the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign, and students from Mokpo Sungkyunkwan Kindergarten also participated in their first donation by collecting their pocket money little by little to prepare Love Piggy Banks to help neighbors.

Labor Il, Chairman of Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae, said, "Thank you for delivering the warmth of sharing right at the start of the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign," and added, "We ask for much interest and participation so that sharing can be delivered as hope to the people of Jeonnam."

Meanwhile, the Love Temperature Tower was installed during the Hope 2022 Sharing Campaign at Jeonnam Provincial Office and inside the rotary at No. 1 Square in front of Yeosu City Hall. It expresses the donation performance for neighborly love as temperature, allowing the donation status to be checked at a glance.

The sharing target amount for this Love Temperature Tower is 8.932 billion won, and the mercury level rises by 1 degree each time 1% of the target amount, 89.32 million won, is raised. When the target amount is achieved, it reaches 100 degrees.

Jeonnam Sarangui Yeolmae is striving to cultivate a donation culture through ▲‘Good Families’ where families donate together ▲‘Good Stores’ where self-employed people donate part of their sales ▲‘Good Workplaces’ where office workers regularly donate part of their salary ▲‘Sharing Leaders’ for donors contributing over 1 million won ▲‘Honor Society’ for high-value donors contributing over 100 million won.

The collected donations will be distributed to individuals in need of social welfare services and corporations/institutions engaged in social welfare activities in areas such as ▲basic livelihood support ▲education and self-reliance support ▲housing environment improvement ▲health and medical support ▲psychological and emotional support ▲strengthening care support ▲communication and participation support ▲cultural gap support.
